I didn't write up a report, but I did take notes. And even more ghetto, this isn't even going to be a post of notes that I've typed up. Here are scans of my notebook. I apologize for any mistakes.

Matori, Ota, and Senzaki went to watch this show. I'll admit here that I might have watched Kanju (read as Matori) more than Kisumai at this show, but really, I'm a Kisumai fan. I just liked seeing how Kanju reacted to Kisumai, so that's a lot of what these notes are about. And lots of Matori fanboying Kusumoto who was backdancing for Kisumai. :x

I went to see Sexy Zone's concert today in Umeda, knowing that Kanju would be there and really hoping that Matori would too. SUCCESS. Matori was there AND he changed his hair. It's brown now, slightly permed and kinda looks like a mushroom, but yay! No more black! Overall, I actually did enjoy the concert. I didn't pay much attention to the SZ members, but the songs and set list were good. (*´◡`)

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to write up notes/reports on all cons I go to this year, but since I now have a huge headache, I'm just here to say who I saw at SZ today. 'Cause that's what I do when I see Kanju... I take attendance.

Aぇ少年 - ◯ all thereLittle Gangs - No clue since I don't know who's in Little Gangs. If someone knows, please tell me! Did see Sanda though.Gang Star - △ Saw Jo, Imae, Takumi, and Kazuya. I hear Nairu was there, but I didn't see him. Definitely no Atsushi. Jr.BOYS BEST - △ Matori, Ota, Kusumoto, Richard, Negoro, Satsuki. No Goku or Ryoya. Did Goku quit? Sounds like there's a rumor that Uemura said that Ryoya didn't quit, so I'm going to hold onto that and hope I get to see him soon.Jr.BOYS SP - △ Uemura, Koga, Kihara, Suezawa, Kodama, Haruki, Masaya, Okamura, and Mishima. Didn't see Murata.

Title: ConfessionsPairing/Group: Hayashi Matori (Jr.BOYS) x Kusumoto Yukito (Gang Star)Rating: NC-17Summary: Matori’s decided that because it’s his birthday, he should get whatever he wants. This includes bringing Kusumoto home with him… all the way to Shiga.A/N: Written for Matori’s 21st birthday (8/30). :)

Today was the first of Kisumai's Osaka shows and we had tachimi. My first time having tachimi at Osaka Jo Hall and guess what? Besides the MC, you can't see much. On the bright side though, MATORI WAS THERE~! Chibiko Kanju and parts of Jr.BOYS were there to back. Definitely saw Matori, Ota and Ryoya and they were continuously goofing off with each other the entire time.

He looked good and they looked super happy to be there. Because our tickets were such crap, there were a lot of things that we couldn't see (like Kisumai!), but just because of where Jr.BOYS were, I could see them for most of the time they were out.

His hair is short again. Light brown. And Ota's hair is short too, which looked cute... but does anyone else remember that random patch of blonde that Akito had in last year's Shounentachi pamphlet? We think Matori may have handed Ota the remains of his hair dye. Not blonde like Akito... but noticeable.

Kobe concerts were today. No Matori (well, no Jr.BOYS or chibiko Jrs.) and NO DAICHI. It seems like he wasn't at the Fukui or Kagawa shows either? I really, REALLY hope he's there in the May Osaka shows.

On a better note, Reiya's smile, when directed right at you from about 10 feet away? It's really, REALLY nice.

Last week, kira_shadow sent me a bunch of old Kanju scans that she'd dug out for me, since Matori no longer appears in magazines. I probably won't translate all of them, but some here and there. Other Kanju members might get translated as well. ^_^ Anyway, thank you Kira~!

T/N: Doki meki and doki doki refer to the beating of your heart.

Kansai Johnny's Jr.&

BAD BOYS

More than chocolate, you want doki meki!?Expecting Doki Doki We asked these 11 who love sweets what their ideal Valentine's Days & White Days would be like, and the reality! This year, what kind of doki doki awaits them and everyone is secretly excited ♥

Went to see BBV on December 15 with Rachel. I was so excited to see Kanju again and honestly, the concert was awesome. Great seats, got seen by a bunch of the boys, and they sang a lot of the songs I was hoping they'd sing. This concert reminded my just why I love Kanju SO MUCH.

And seriously~? Goods FAIL. I went to the concerts four times and I don't remember seeing anyone buying goods any of those times. No one wanted the clappy balloon things at the TOUZAI Uta Gassen. No one wants them at the Kanju thing either. Ok. Enough complaining about that. It saved fans money.

OUR SEATS. The Shochikuza has three floors and in general is a rather small venue. If they aren't within the first few rows on the first floor, I actually prefer the second or third floors 'cause it's easier to see the main stage. Can't see the hanamichi from the second or third floors, but I'm mostly there to see Matori and he never goes there anyway. And since it's a little hard to explain, you can find a seating chart here. Our seats were on the second floor, left side balcony, seats 3 and 4. 4 is better than 3 because it's next to the door and Kanju are really good about coming out to the balcony through those doors. Rachel claimed 4, because hey. Her tickets, she's tall enough to see over my head, and I like the number 3 better anyway. haha...

☆ Watching the last episode of Freeter on TV now. This season had a bunch of good dramas... but I think this may be the one that I'll watch again, over and over. 横尾さん、お疲れさまでした！ I hope the next time you get a drama role, you play a more likable character. I wish your character's only redeeming characteristic wasn't that he hated the mother.

And while we're on the topic of Kisumai in drama roles, I had dinner with one of my Japanese friends tonight and she asked me who my favorite Johnny's is. She didn't know who Kis-My-Ft2 was, but I knew she likes to watch dramas, so while showing her Goodbye, Thank you and Kis-My-Calling on my iTouch, I was like, "That one is the lawyer in Freeter... those two will be in Misaki No.1... Oh! You saw Gokusen, right? Do you remember that guy wearing yellow?" So without realizing it, she already knows four of them. ^_^

☆ Went to see 7WEST on Sunday. Enjoyed it, although I wish I knew more of their songs. Surprise of the day may have been Ryusei, Kamiyama and TAKEMOTO singing Sadistic Love of all things. Sounds wrong doesn't it? IT WAS SO GOOD. Will be going to see 7WEST again tomorrow. Granted, I bought the ticket before finding out that Jr.BOYS aren't in the 7WEST concerts. Was hoping to see Matori again, but I guess I'll just watch Kamiyama, Kusumoto and Reiya the whole time. I've developed quite a soft spot for Reiya. Super cute and then goes all hot on us when he raps.

BBV yesterday. We went to the 1400 show and I was so worried I was going to be late since I had to stay at work longer than I thought I would. I wish I could go see them again~! MATORI! ♪───Ｏ（≧∇≦）Ｏ────♪ Thank you for always smiling and doing the shaka for me. It makes me really happy.

☆ I don't know how many of you are paying attention to the je_holiday fic exchange, but I participated this year and the fic I received is freaking AWESOME. Go read it. And if you can figure out which one I wrote, I'll give you a cookie. (=^x^=)

And I can see Matori. He's in the back row of the Juniors sitting on the floor. Yes, yes... 'wtf' indeed. haha... I enjoyed this a lot until the actual concert part cause awkward BOYS is AWKWARD. Hama-chan... oh, Hama-chan...http://www.takichan-j.jp/

What else... Started the actual con report for Wednesday's BBV con. I will try really hard not to make it a novel. TRY being the keyword. I don't even know how they end up that long.

Just that for now since I'm supposed to head out to an enkai with my teachers. I shouldn't be late since the only reason it's tonight is because I leave on the 23rd. They usually have it the 24th and ask why I never go. ^^;

I went to Tackey & Tsubasa's first Kobe show last night. It was my first time seeing them together and I gotta admit that I'm glad I'll be seeing it twice. I've seen some of their solo activities, and they're cool and all, but there's something about them being together that's impressive. I also realized that while I enjoy Takki's solo activities more, when they're together, I'd much rather watch Tsubasa.

Right. So anyway. I'm going to go see them in Yokohama this Saturday, but I applied for Kobe anyway because I was really hoping to see Matori. haha... And while my Yokohama tickets SUCK, I had arena seats, 8th row from the front stage and 2 rows away from center stage. I always forget that when you go to TakiTsuba things, the average age rises to mid-thirties. There were some middle aged women in front and behind me. The girl to my right didn't really seem all that thrilled to be there, but the two on my right were really nice. Before the concert started, I had my uchiwa, binoculars and penlight on my lap and I could hear them talking about the penlight, so I told them that it's just the general one from the shop. They asked if it's a new penlight and then laughed when I told them that I bought it 2 years ago, 'cause one of them still had the star-shaped one. The one next to me pointed at my uchiwa and asked who they were for. I was surprised that when I said, "Matori," she didn't need a further explanation. Yay. I told her that I don't know if he'd be there, but she said that it's amazing that I came anyway and got such great tickets.

Anyway. I have to go but I'll be back with notes later. For now... have some Juniors.

Who wasn't there and confused the crap out of me? - MSM's NabeSho and Miyadate

During the Junior corner, MSM performed Genkai Meter and FiVE performed Bang Bang Bang. Also, special guest was Yokoyama Yu, but they mentioned that Muro was there and they said one more person but I couldn't hear. I assume it was Kikuoka since Yoko was hanging out with him yesterday (according to his jweb anyway.)

Title: Actions Louder Than WordsFandom: Hayashi Matori (Jr.BOYS)/Kusumoto Yukito (Gang Star)Rating: PG-13Genre: Fluff/RomanceDisclaimer: Don’t own them.Setting: August 2010Summary: Matori lives really far from the theater. When they have a long run of shows in Osaka, he doesn’t make it home very often... So what does he do?Note: Thanks to snowqueenofhoth for the beta!

Matoriくんへ、Happy Birthday~! Finally 20 years old, an adult in Japan, even though you look like a high schooler to me… and no, that impression has very little to do with your height and everything to do with how you dress and act. haha… It's ok. I think it's really cute and that you're ridiculously hot when you dance, so I really don't mind.

No, I didn't actually write that on his birthday card but I was sure as hell thinking it. The actual letter has more to do with looking forward to seeing him dance again and also his love of One Piece. I don't really get this love for One Piece that a bunch of the boys seem to share (Fuuga's a huge fan too from what I gather), but I drew it for him for his birthday anyway. Hope he likes it, you know, someday when he actually sees it.

In other news, I've been working on a new community for the Kansai Juniors with Kira and Rachel. Love kansaichibiko, I really do, and am glad that the members are keeping it alive… but has anyone noticed that it doesn't look like the actual community hasn't been updated since maybe the end of 2008, early 2009? BADBOYS, Top Kids, OsSAN… Profile wise, the members of Veteran (and it says Veteran"s") are all still listed under 'other juniors' or BADBOYS. Kikuoka's name is misspelled on both the community profile page as well as the Other Juniors profiles. There are also a lot of new juniors not listed and a few who have left.

We've tried to contact both mods, but neither have responded, so we've decided to make a new community. For better or for worse, the Kansai Juniors are constantly changing and I'd really like to be able to help keep fans informed, if only a little. Hopefully it works out. Will keep you updated.

I went to see 少年たち〜格子無き牢獄 for my second and last time today and was heavily relieved to find that I enjoyed it a lot more this time around. It probably has a little to do with the fact that I already know the story and didn't need to take the time to figure that out, but overall, they were better into their roles. I felt somewhat detached the first time I saw it, but this time, I felt like I was pulled in. Teared twice.

Also turns out that there are a few songs that I really like. Akito and Kamiyama's duet for example. I think last time I was so preoccupied by the songs that I didn't like that I forgot about the ones that I did.
